Joe, The '53/'54 Ford car has never been a sweetheart as cars go but they are certainly more than marketable. A lot can be done with one if you just have a little imagination. I am sure that if you don't like it that it would not be hard to find a home for it.
OK,so you are a Chevy guy maybe these Pix will give you some inspiration cause there is a big Rat under the hood.
those pics give me inspiration to work on my 54 chevy hardtop, which i would like to have perform like that someday!! as for the ford, i'm just trying to help a guy out that helped me out. if anyone would like to make an offer on the whole car, please do. i had one guy offer to buy it, but his deal fell through. if you want it, please speak up. i'll make sure it doesn't go to the metal man, but it would be ideal to sell complete to someone else and let them have the fun! my schedule is too full. i do believe they found the ***le for it as well. clean and clear.
